Notary Nodes are Blockchain Defenders, preventing malicious miners from launching
attacks which can be monetized effectively.
Notary Nodes inject data into blockchains.They send 256 bit Proof-of-Work blockhashes from one blockchain to another. That
is the core of their job, to inject data about blockhashes of one blockchain, into another. The idea is to store data on a bigger
blockchain, about a smaller one, thereby protecting the smaller blockchain against attacks.

In this way, HUSH is protected by BTC mainnet. To launch a double spend attack against HUSH, the attacker must attack BTC, which

makes the attack monetarily infeasible, at least in most scenarios.
The idea is to make an attack so expensive that the attackers go to an easier target, a chain without DPoW.
## Implementation Details
The current code assumes
block hashes of at most 256 bits (64 bytes), and if larger hashes are needed in the future, that is trivially possible.
